    Wait until you upgrade your ZipGS to 15 MHz, then you'll really
notice a difference. :) I have my IIgs sitting next to my 166 MHz
Pentium system, regularly have them both switched on, and constantly
move back and forth working between them. As far as the GUI interface
is concerned, I don't feel like I'm slowing down when I switch over
to the IIgs.

    At 15 MHz, Out of This World plays full-speed in the 3/4th screen
window size (faster than the SuperNintendo version), Wolfenstein 3D
is playable, Dungeon Master lets you move almost in real-time, and
Thexder, Firepower and Super Mario Bros. are almost _too_ fast. Even
the heirarchical menus in TransProg III open at almost dizzing speeds.
In all honesty, I don't know if I could bare to use my IIgs without
the 15/64 ZipGS installed (I was playing with my other IIgs at 7 MHz
and felt it was sluggish).
